Has anyone used WebSockets with PHP? What library do you recommend?

• pusher-js

  38 2,057 4.0 JavaScript

  Pusher Javascript library

  

I’ve used https://pusher.com in my early days of PHP. Didn’t had to dig deeper into WebSockets with php.

• React

  40 8,813 3.9 PHP

  Event-driven, non-blocking I/O with PHP.

  

If you are looking to host the websocket server side and run PHP code then look into ReactPHP. It has nothing to do with ReactJS. There is also Swoole but I haven't used it.
